The Tewfikieh College of Agriculture, Egypt. 
sories for butter-making have been introduced. An oil engine 
and flour mills are worked for exhibition and profit. 
The College has received from the leading English implement 
makers, as presents, the following : — A reaper-and-binder, a reaping 
machine, a grass mower and other machinery, seeds from a leading 
seedsman, and manures for experiments. This shows an apprecia- 
tion of the importance to English trade of the experiments now 
carried on at the farm. 
The forced labour, or corvee, of the Egyptian Fellaliin has been 
abolished, and the country is now prosperous. Sugar factories with 
European machinery, generally French, have been established, at 
which a large number of labourers are employed, and it is said that 
for the first time the peasants have money in hand to pay their taxes 
without mortgaging their standing crops. There is therefore an 
opening for the introduction of English machinery into the country, 
which will be facilitated when the students at the Agricultural 
College return to their own homes and spread the knowledge of an 
improved system of agriculture among their neighbours.

AWARDS UNDER THE AGRICULTURAL 
HOLDINGS ACT. 
In these days, when so much discussion is taking place about the 
operation of the Agricultural Holdings Act, and when suggestions 
are being made for its amendment in many different quarters, it 
seems desirable to call attention to the case of Farquharson v. 
Morgan, 1 which tends to show that an amendment of the Act is 
desirable in the direction of allowing moneys awarded to an out- 
going tenant for tillages and such-like matters under lease, agree- 
ment, or custom of the country, and moneys awarded for compensa- 
tion under the Act, to be the subject of one valuation and award, and 
to be recoverable in one lump sum from the County Court, which 
is not the case as the law now stands. 
The facts in the case were, so far as material, as follows : — 
By a lease dated November 29, 1888, Farquharson let a farm to 
Morgan from year to year. The lease provided that, on the 
determination of the tenancy, the tenant should be entitled to 
allowances and compensation in respect of various matters which 
are not the subject of compensation under the Agricultural Hold- 
ings Act, to be ascertained upon the basis provided by that Act ; 
and it was agreed by the lease that the clauses of the Act relating 
' Reported in the first volume of the Law Reports for 1894, Queen’s Bench
